I have mentioned in a previous blog post that the Dimir (U/B) Zombies deck will have a fully functional deck once the full Magic: the Gathering Innistrad: Crimson Vow card spoilers are out and that people will know what cards to utilize and fill the decklist. This is then be followed by a trial playtest in the actual face-to-face or via Magic Arena to see its actual gameplay and also check if the added cards are relevant or not.

As each day passes, new Innistrad: Crimson Vow cards are being previewed from various sources online, and I get myself thinking of the possible deck ideas that can be brewed from these new cards.

Last weekend’s Magic: the Gathering Standard tournaments and events garnered a whole bunch of decklists of various archetypes. MTG Top 8 dot com is again my go-to website.

The Magic: the Gathering Arena Standard Challenge took off last weekend and is probably one of the major tournaments in the platform catering to the newly-rotated Standard format. I was not able to participate myself but was able to witness a friend’s playtime last night. The expected deck archetypes were present: aggro, control, and midrange, and one of the decks that flourished in the metagame was Izzet Control. Prior to the rotation, the deck’s components were already playable and are rotation-proof.

By Standard, we based on the Magic: the Gathering deck build of an aggro deck to be composed of one-drop 2/1s, and two-drop 2/2s or 3/2s, partnered with an anthem effect to bolster them. That is the usual package. This is not the case though in today’s Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Standard Deck feature.
